Perfect in every way

Reverend Dave is the best reverend we know, and we are IN the wedding business. When we got engaged early this year, we knew who we wanted to have for our ceremony right away, and called him to make sure he was available for our date, which he was (we would have changed our date if not!). Rev Dave is not only a real reverend, ordained by the church, but he is also funny and personable, which really helps make the ceremony a FUN event! He's also has years of experience, so you cannot go wrong. Don't skimp on your ceremony - get the best reverend there is!!

Thank you Dave!

Best day of my life!- Rev. Karen

Rev. Karen was absolutely phenomenal! She took the time to get to know us both, she was very knowledge about wedding details and venue, and she was verry well spoken. She was clear, easy to hear and understand during the ceremony and she kept everyone engaged. You would have thought we had been friends for a lifetime. Choosing who would marry us was one of the last things we did, but honestly she made our entire day! The wedding coordinator at the venue said “I wish every officiant we worked with came this prepared”.

Love was all around with the Wedding Rev!

We had such an amazing experience with Rev. Angle!!
From the start, it was very easy to work with him. We emailed him and we got a response quickly to set up what we’d like for our wedding.
I was initially worried that he wouldn’t come to the Rockford area but was glad to hear he comes this way!
Rev. Angle was so easy to talk to, I was ready to spill my life story to him. We definitely felt understood and heard about what we wanted for our ceremony.
We planned a very small wedding with only our immediate family present.
He made sure to include everyone and kept the energy up through the duration of the ceremony.
He knew which areas of our venue would be best for us. He worked wonderfully with the photographers to ensure they got what they needed.
We had something happen that altered the placement of our planned ceremony, Rev. Angle handled it professionally and we made adjustments as necessary and we are so grateful for him and his calm presence.
Rev. Angle said he’s done hundreds of weddings, and you can tell, in a good way! He made us feel so special and felt the love and enthusiasm through the whole event.
